Chapter 68: Tit for Tat

Although the Martial Venerable's suggestion was merely that—a suggestion—who would dare not to follow it?

To defy the order of a national pillar, whose words were like sacred decrees, wasn't that courting death?

Yet a great Martial Venerable, actually targeting a mere youth?

Oh.

Soon, everyone understood. It turned out that Shi Hao, on his way here, had incidentally beaten up Luo Chen at the academy's gate, and Luo Chen was Sect Master Duan's young disciple.

Even more so, Shi Hao had broken Luo Chen's limbs.

—The fact that the Martial Venerable hadn't directly ordered Shi Hao's death was already a great leniency.

Instantly, the area buzzed with discussion, everyone shocked at Shi Hao's audacity to even cripple the disciple of a Martial Venerable.

"This!" The dean hesitated a bit, considering Shi Hao's exceptional talents. Moreover, if someone in a small rural city could become stronger than Luo Chen, why not take Shi Hao as a disciple too?
